In 1912, a Miracle happened, and history turned in a new direction. In place of old Europe, Darwinia appeared, an amazing continent - the habitat of unprecedented plants and the most dangerous creatures. People, those who survived, perceived the Miracle differently. For some, this is a global catastrophe, for others - an act of divine creation, for others - a chance to create a new empire. Young photographer Guilford Lowe, a native of the USA, where religious fundamentalism now reigns, goes to Darwinia as part of a research expedition. He can’t even imagine what trials await him on this path - and what a mind-blowing discovery he has to make... The novel was awarded the Aurora Prize and was nominated for the Hugo Award. For the first time in Russian!
